Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 714

?Chapter 714: Chapter 313: Lost Soul Island_2 Chapter 714: Chapter 313: Lost Soul Island_2 …

The distance from Fortune Island to Lost Soul Island was not short.

Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei, riding the Flying Boat, had been flying continuously for over a month before finally arriving near Lost Soul Island.

During this time spent together, Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei had become much more familiar with each other.

The first time Lin Jing met Changyun Yuanlei, he overheard something that made him aware that there were hidden facts behind the downfall of the Lin Family.

This matter had been on his mind ever since.

On their journey, Lin Jing subtly probed for more information about the Lin Family.

However, to Lin Jing’s disappointment,

although Changyun Yuanlei knew some things, his knowledge wasn’t extensive; even what he had heard was mere fragments.

Take the “Elixir Medicine” Changyun Yuanlei mentioned before, for instance.

Once, during casual conversation with Changyun Yuanlei, the topic strayed toward Elixir Medicine, and Changyun Yuanlei, without any guard against Lin Jing,

spoke openly about it.

That “Elixir Medicine” existed in legends.

Aside from the leaders of the top forces and the peak cultivators,

no one knew the name of that Elixir Medicine.

The function of the Elixir Medicine was equally mysterious.

Changyun Yuanlei mentioned that the downfall of the Lin Family was related to that Elixir Medicine because he had overheard the elders in his family discussing it.

Though it was merely their speculation.

Being from an Ancient Alchemy Family themselves, the Changyun Clan was extremely concerned about the unexplained downfall of the Lin Family.

Even if it was speculation, it was probably based on some evidence they had grasped, not sheer conjecture.

Which meant that before the fall of the Lin Family,

they indeed had refined the legendary Elixir Medicine, and after the refinement, the Lin Family collapsed.

As for what that Elixir Medicine was or whether it had been successfully refined?

Changyun Yuanlei had no idea.

He wasn’t even sure whether the Lin Family had been destroyed because of that Elixir Medicine.

He had only heard that after the Lin Family finished refining the Elixir Medicine, they indeed faced divine retribution, and then the family rapidly declined until they were completely annihilated.

This was known by many powers in the Inner Sea.

It was no secret at all.

Hence, after encountering a series of unfortunate events, Changyun Yuanlei speculated whether his own family was secretly refining that Elixir Medicine.

That could be why they faced divine retribution, causing him such bad luck.

Moreover,

although Changyun Yuanlei seldom went out and was hardly involved in family affairs, he was still somewhat informed about his family’s situation.

Especially before he was involved in the Sea of Strange, it seemed some odd things had already started happening in his family.

But at that time, in order to comprehend the Alchemy Dao, he was wholly focused on Alchemy and did not pay attention to the occurrences within his family.

Changyun Yuanlei, a young master of the Changyun Clan, rarely made public appearances, spending most of his time honing the Alchemy Techniques within his family, as arranged by them.

The reason for this was that Changyun Yuanlei had an exceptional alchemic talent, a once-in-a-millennium kind of genius on the Alchemy Dao.

Under the unrestrained nurturing of his family, Changyun Yuanlei, at a young age, was already a Sixth Grade Alchemist.

His speed of advancement in the Alchemy Dao was unmatched in the entire Demonic Monster Sea and was even much faster than Lin Jing’s.

Of course,

an important reason he was able to advance so quickly was the unstinted nurturing provided by the Changyun Clan.

…

Although somewhat disappointed by this outcome, Lin Jing felt it was somewhat expected.

After all, the destruction of the Lin Family happened ten thousand years ago, which was far too distant.

?????.??

Even if there were hidden facts involved, it was not something that Changyun Yuanlei could know.

It seemed that to understand the hidden circumstances of the Lin Family’s destruction, he would have to conduct his own investigation.

Honestly, regarding divine retribution,

as someone who had transmigrated, Lin Jing always had his doubts.

Although this was the Cultivation World, anything abnormal was a sign of trouble.

If a top-ranked family was destroyed by divine retribution due to just one Elixir Medicine, Lin Jing certainly didn’t believe it.

If he became powerful enough, Lin Jing would definitely investigate the matter.

For now, of course, it was better to keep a low profile and focus on increasing his own strength.

…

Half a day later, Lin Jing finally arrived at an island made entirely of pitch-black rocks.

This was Lost Soul Island.

Upon reaching the island, Changyun Yuanlei led Lin Jing straight into the interior of Lost Soul Island.

Having returned to Lost Soul Island, Changyun Yuanlei knew the way well.

He led Lin Jing through the island and said,

“Big brother!”

“Lost Soul Island is somewhat different from the other islands.”

“Although it covers a large area, there is no Immortal City here, nor a manager.”

“There’s only a market similar to Fang Market in the middle of the island.

If you have anything you want to buy or any information you want to inquire about, you can go there.”

“And one more thing, you need to be aware of.”

“Near Lost Soul Island, grey fog sometimes appears.

These fogs are usually not large, but remember, if you encounter them, you must avoid them.”

“Those gray fogs, they must have some connection with the Soul Tomb,” someone had once tried to pass through the gray fog, but in the end, he turned into a walking corpse, appearing in the Soul Tomb.”

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“Hmm, I’ll be careful.”

Changyun Yuanlei then continued to speak to Lin Jing,

“Big brother!”

“On this Lost Soul Island, if you want to rest, just find an uninhabited place and directly dig out a cave dwelling.

That’s all.”

“Of course, there are also other people’s cave dwellings.

Either they met with accidents or they have left and never returned.

Those people’s cave dwellings can be directly moved into as well.”

“For now, let’s go to the marketplace first to get an understanding of the current situation here.

What do you think, big brother?”

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“Sure!”

…

…

Afterwards.

Lin Jing followed Changyun Yuanlei, and the two of them walked toward the marketplace in the center of Lost Soul Island.

The marketplace of Lost Soul Island was actually set up in a clearing at the center of the island, quite simple indeed.

No one managed the marketplace, but no one caused trouble either.

After entering the marketplace, it was like walking onto the streets of Fang Market, with all sorts of cultivators just setting up their spaces right by the roadside, laying a barrier of some sort beneath them, and then placing their goods for sale right there and then.

Of course.

It wasn’t all like that.

At the end of the marketplace, there was a two-story shop.

In front of the shop, a flag for wine hung high.

It read: Drunken Soul Tavern.

Even though the tavern was at the very end of the marketplace, Lin Jing saw it the moment he entered, at first glance.

He just didn’t expect that Lost Soul Island would even have a tavern.

While Lin Jing was looking at the Drunken Soul Tavern, Changyun Yuanlei also turned his gaze toward it.

But unlike Lin Jing, he clenched his teeth with a creaking sound, looking very resentful.

Lin Jing felt that something was off and looked at Changyun Yuanlei, asking in confusion,

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Scammer!” Changyun Yuanlei spat out hatefully.

“When I first arrived, I was cheated out of a hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones by that tavern’s shopkeeper.”

“To run into him right as I entered, I must have really bad luck for eight lifetimes.”

Lin Jing was momentarily speechless.

It seemed that Changyun Yuanlei held deep grudges against that tavern owner.

A hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones was definitely not a small amount.

You should know, Lin Jing himself only had a little over three hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones on hand.

And.

Most of that was from looting enemies.

I didn’t expect Changyun Yuanlei to be scammed out of a hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones right after coming here; I don’t know if I should call him naive.

Or just say that he comes from rich stock.

After all, as the son of the Changyun Clan, his assets certainly can’t be compared to Lin Jing’s.

But as for how he got cheated, Lin Jing was quite interested.

So.

Lin Jing asked,

“What happened?”

“Tell me about it.”

Changyun Yuanlei nodded and began to recount,

“The reason I was cheated was actually because he claimed that his Drunken Soul Wine could make even Cultivators of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage drunk, and it could even increase one’s Soul Spirit strength…”

As Cultivators practice, with the increase in their Cultivation, their Soul Spirit strength continuously grows, and aside from some extremely special Spiritual Wines,

ordinary alcoholic drinks, no matter how much one consumes, could not intoxicate a Cultivator.

The other claim, to increase the strength of the Soul Spirit, seemed even more far-fetched.

Lin Jing, looking at Changyun Yuanlei, asked doubtfully,

“Did he sell you fake wine?”

Changyun Yuanlei shook his head and said,

“No!”

“His wine is real, and it really can increase the strength of the Soul Spirit, even though the effect is minuscule.”

“Exactly what kind of wine can increase Soul Spirit strength?” Lin Jing asked, surprised.

He had indeed never heard of such wine that could increase Soul Spirit strength before.

Changyun Yuanlei then spoke,

“He added Jade Soul Algae to the wine; that’s why it has the effect of enhancing the Soul Spirit strength.

It was because of the Jade Soul Algae that I fell for his trap…”
